What is Brain Tumor Surgery?
Brain tumor surgery is a complex neurosurgical procedure aimed at removing or managing abnormal growths—benign or malignant—within the brain. It is often the primary treatment option for symptomatic brain tumors, tumors causing neurological deficits, or when a biopsy is needed for diagnosis. The main objective is to eliminate as much of the tumor as possible while preserving essential brain functions.
Various advanced techniques are used depending on the tumor’s type, size, and location:
- Craniotomy – the most common method where a section of the skull is temporarily removed to access the tumor.
- Minimally Invasive Techniques – such as neuroendoscopy and keyhole surgery for tumors in difficult-to-reach locations.
- Awake Craniotomy – used when tumors are close to areas controlling speech or movement.
- Stereotactic and Computer-Guided Surgery – enhances precision using 3D imaging.
- Laser Ablation – vaporizes tumor tissue with minimal damage to surrounding structures.
- Endoscopic Transnasal Surgery – often used for pituitary or skull base tumors.
The surgery typically lasts 3–6 hours and is performed under general anesthesia. Recovery may take several weeks, and follow-up therapies such as radiation or chemotherapy are often recommended depending on the tumor type.
